New Blog - first steps in link building?

I'm not going to share my blog here for obvious reasons.
Thanks for the advice regarding press release directories. Will consider it for sure.
Is it worth it to create web2.0 sites as well to post 1 blog post on each? There are hundreds of them.


You can consider it as babies niche (stuff reviews, parenting advice, etc.).
GSC and indexing - yes to both.

You can consider web2.0, blog comments, directories, etc. But these are mostly useful only to diversify your link profile.
The real game changers that will dictate your SEO results are authority links from relevant sites towards your highly relevant content.
 
Here is some advice for you pal.

Ignore those telling you to start outreach and build guests posts. Keep off these links as much as you can. Why? Because, by pointing powerful links to your new site, you risk triggering the so-called anti-spam algorithm that can interpret that as a signal to manipulate serps. That may result you getting penalized, losing (any) rankings or even getting your site completely de-indexed.

What you want to do instead is build foundation links, or what are also referred to as pillow links. These are what most sites will naturally gain and consists of links of varying anchors and diverse sources. These is where you should get your first links from:
  • Press release sites like Newswire, PRWeb etc
  • Top blog aggregators like Reddit, Hackernews, StumbleUpon etc
  • Vide sites like Youtube and Vimeo
  • Document sharing sites like Dropbox,
  • Audio sharing sites like Soundcloud
  • Image sharing sites like Flickr
  • Popular social media sites like like fb
And equally important, build them gradually. Hope that helps.

Specifically RE the PR sites you listed, what would you recommend for sites on a lower budget? $99 per release is steep for some people, unless that would net you tons of links.

Any link from a high authority site citing as reference a useful and insightful relevant piece of content will never be frowned upon by Google, no matter if said content is published in a 10 year or 1 month old blog.

But you are right, build gradually. But if you are outreaching manually, just by yourself, and not in a huge scale, the 'gradual building' of links will come naturally. It's not like you are going to contact 100 people and get 50 links on the very next month.
 
I prefer Guest Post is a great way to start backlinks.
 
if you have a much money, you can use fb ads for drive traffic to your website. note: you should create a good looking fansfpage

Thanks man, will follow your advice.

As soon as you can. Even the same day you launch your site. You can use as many as you want. They are usually sold as a package, you can just do a quick search on the marketplace. I think there is a relatively cheap one in the marketplace that provides about 350 PR links for $75 or so.

Do they actually help to rank? Or is it just to make your website more visible in google?

They mainly help in link diversification. This is especially key if you are looking to embark on serious link building like guest posting, niche edits etc and looking to push important anchors/keywords
 
I’d go with social media to start then slowly move onto guest posting on related high ranking blogs. Just start off slow and keep it consistent and you’ll get results.
